I really appreciate your input and please know I am just a beginner in the space and very open to options.

Therefore, I am not sure what's feasible in regards to 1) finding an affordable multi-family out that way and 2) what the unofficial neighborhood ratings would be out that way.I'd appreciate any advice as I consider my options, and a referral or two wouldn't hurt as well.Thanks,Phil

Don't use it as a long term financing option.

It's a great way to get a foot in the door and it provides more lending options as well if you owner-occupy.

Chicago's lawn offers a variety of options, including residential areas with good amenities.

We are supposedly getting that option at the end of this month.

I was relying on them to educate me about the company and its investment options.

Are single family’s an option ?

I recently came across this "FHA construction to permanent Loan" option which seems almost too good to be true, so I wanted to get some input on how this works and where I might be able to find a lender.

I meant not to live on but solely to withdraw, pay the tax and invest in RE.I am trying to decide if I should draw out everything from tax deferred retirement account, pay the tax and invest in RE (move into Roth as another option)before I hit RMD point.Hoping to hear from those who have walked the walk and share actual experience of their success/roadblocks.
